Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a medium bowl, combine Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour, sweet white sorghum flour, sugar, and salt.

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small chunks and incorporate it into the dry ingredients using your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Create a well in the center of the mixture. Crack the egg into the well and add the cider vinegar.

Using a fork, stir from the center, gradually incorporating the flour mixture into the egg until a soft dough forms.

Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it reaches about 10-12 inches in diameter. Place the rolled-out dough in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to handle.

Carefully remove the parchment paper and press the dough into a pie pan, fluting the edges as desired. Set aside.
